Adapt new Monitoring to nw2004s

(only with Upgrade)

(with the Installation)

Follow these Notes:• Installation AS-Java Add-In with Usage Types BI-Java and EP (EP-Core)

• Apply the latest Java Support Packages Stack• Check for Patches for the Java Support Package Stack

• Check for Roles in the Java User Management which have enough permission to run theTemplate Installer successfully

• Activation BEx Web (Note 917950, 919850)• Run the Template Installer from the NetWeaver Administrator (CTC), see Note 923359• Check the result with the BI Diagnostics and Support tool, see Note 937697• Check and apply security Notes 872043, 815904• Check the BEx Personalization Notes 573284, 944370

• Activating the Monitoring for NetWeaver 2004s SR1 Guides can be find under: http://service.sap.com/operationsnw2004s

3


Check for the latest Patches of the actual SPS

4


Both J2EE and ABAP Engine will be restarted …

5


Check for the right Permissions of the Java User

Note the :• if the User J2EE_ADMIN is used for various configuration steps and is used as the

default user for the JCo connection, please make sure that the user J2EE_ADMINhas at least the following Profile in Abap: S_BW_RFC (to admin RFC connections)

6


For Java Add-In Installations recreate the Portal ticket

Note:Details for this Step can also be found in the configuration guide for the PI based on NetWeaver 2004s.This is due to the fact that the existing Abap Installation will be enhanced with the Java Add-in Installation to a Doublestack Installation.You must recreate the Java Ticket with the EXACT Name SAPLogonTicketKeypairPlease always Note:Abap Tickets are using the RSA encryption and Java Tickets the DSA encryption. Unfortunate the default settings are vice versa when you create the tickets the first time, or when you recreate the ticket on the Java side.

7


J2EE <SID> must differ from Abap <SID>

e.g. in this Example Abap <SID>: N4S and J2EE <SID>: N40

N40

8


Check the Logon Group (PUBLIC) with SMLG

9


Check that the Java Applications are started

• Check also the SLD Application via DEPLOY Application *SLD*

10


Start the NetWeaver Administrator

11


Go to “Deploy and Change”

•To set the required authorizations for the NWA, now choose the CIM Client GenerationSettings tab page, and activate the following entries in the list:

• sap.com/tc~lm~webadmin~mainframe~wd/webdynpro/public/lib/app.jar• sap.com/tc~lm~webadmin~sld~wd/webdynpro/public/lib/app.jar

• Ensure that the SLD connection data is entered on this tab page, and save your entries bychoosing Save

12


Scenario BI-Java: Complete BI Postinstallation

• Note 853505 - Release Restr.: Usage Type BI-Java of SAP NetWeaver 2004s• Note 923359 - Collective Note: Template Installer (CTC)• Note 895736 - Configuration Template for BI-JAVA usage type• Note 983156 - BI configuration w. Template Installer• Note 917950 - SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web• Note 945055 - Transporting Web templates in NetWeaver 2004s

13


Choose: “Execute Template”

Note 983156 - BI configuration w. Template InstallerYou can start the Template Installer with the BI-Java Template at any time, if youdelete the following items before restarting:

delete the RFC connection for the EP in SM59 and Visual Administratordelete the exchanged tickets for EP in STRUSTSSO2 and for Abap in the

Visual Administratordelete the SAP_BW entry in the EP System Landscape configuration

This is to prevent errors when restarting the Template Installer again

14


Make sure that the users have enough rights …

15


Press: “Install”

16


Check the result with Transaction STRUSTSSO2

• for detailed check go to Environment SAP Logon Ticket and use forDestination the Value NONE. The correct SSO settings will be shown.

• Note 177895 - Refitting the mySAP.com Single Sign-On capability • Note 701205 - Single Sign-On using SAP Logon Tickets• Note 812047 - NW04: SSO to J2EE 6.40 fails• Note 991505 - Single Sign-On with assertion tickets fails on J2EE Engine• Note 1015179 - SSO ticket expired or connection timeouts• Note 1013230 - JC0.Client not connected/system received expired SSO ticket

17


And with the Diagnostics &Support Desktop Tool

• Note 937697 - Usage of SAP NetWeaver BI Diagnostics & Support Desk Tool

In order to use the tool, follow these steps:8. Close all open web browsers.9. Logon to your Portal using <http|https>://<j2ee_server>:<j2ee_port>/irj with a user belonging to the "Administrators" group. Usually, this is "Administrator" or "j2ee_admin".10.Change the URL in your browserto<http|https>://<j2ee_server>:<j2ee_port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.supportdesk.default11. In case a red traffic light is shown on the initial tool screen indicating a configuration issue, click the link to get more details on the configuration issues found for your system. Go through the list of checks marked with a red traffic light and see the instructions provided for each check in order to correct the configuration.12. In case of changes to the configuration, click the "Reload configuration" button to re-run the configuration checks and update the check results.13. If all traffic lights turn green and the issue is resolved, continue with the steps described below for undeploying the tool. If you can't correct the configuration on your own or all traffic lights are green and the issue persists, continue with the next bullet point.14. If you have a specific error situation which for example occurs during a navigation step in a BEx Web Application Java, click on the "Start reproducing error" button. If you have issues with the overall configuration, go to the next step.15. Click the "Download support info" button. When prompted, store the downloaded file "supportdesk.zip" to your local harddisk.16. Ifyou have clicked the "Start reproducing error" before, it is important to click the "Stop reproducing error" button now. This will restore all log levels to their original values and helps to prevent performance degradation due to too many messages written to the log files.17. Attachthe file "supportdesk.zip" to your OSS message or send the file via e-mail to [email protected] stating the OSS message number and title in the e-mail title.

Activation of Client Side Logging and Receipts

Activation of Client Side Logging and Receipts (Note 596698):

1) Start the DSM logger component as portal administrator.Choose "System Administration -> Support ->Support Desk"Choose "SAP Application".Test and configure the "Dsm Logger" tools.

2) Activate the logger and receipts by using all "Attach" buttons; The traffic lights must turn green.

3) Open a new portal window (with either "CTRL-N" or "File -> New" in the browser menu).

4) Start your application again (i.e. an application based on IAC, MiniApp or R/3 transaction in SAPGUI for HTML). If you as the administrator do not yet have access to such iViews or pages, first assign the corresponding role to the admin user.

5) When your application is displayed, you should get a browser popup with the Receipt on Session info. This popup is the confirmation that the Session Release Agent knows about the session on the server side and will handle this session later.

6) When you close the application window or navigate away, a new window called "DSM Terminator" is opened with a transmission protocol.

Note 872043 - Portal Security Settings

Note:• The user SAPJSF is dedicated to synchronize the Users between Abap and Java (UME) withthe Role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO.To assign the “stronger” Role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION you should first generatethis Role with Transaction SUPC before you can add them in SU01 to the user SAPJSF. See Note 748195 and 891162 for more Details.You must restart the J2EE Engine after you change the role assignment.

• Please change all Users created by the Java Add-in Installation from user type “Dialog” to“Service” to prevent unmeant Password changes. These are affected users:

ADSUSER for the Adobe Document ServiceADS_AGENT J2EE_ADMIN for the Java AdministrationJ2EE_GUEST NWDI_ADM If DI is installedNWDI_CMSADM NWDI_DEV SAPJSF for the Java Communication with AbapSLDAPIUSER for the SLD Administration/CommunicationSLDDSUSER

Test the Portal Application - Planning Modeler

Please Note:The Help can be now displayed from the WebDynpro and from R/3 system.As result, the transaction SR13 has now 2 entries:• dynpro NONE IWBHELP help.sap.com saphelp_nw04s/helpdata DE• saphelp WN32 IWBHELP help.sap.com saphelp_nw04s\helpdata DE

Please consider for future customization of Application Help in other systems, that all WebDynpro / BSP applications require the entry with the platform 'NONE' and '/' as separator (note 901385) R/3 system itself (menu: Help -> Application Help / SAP Library) requires the entry for platform 'WN32', if a frontend, where user is working, has Windows OS.

The area depends on the help links used by Application. In your case it is a 'Documentation' area (IWBHELP).
